First edition of this “hilarious, exclamation-point filled novel” (John Freeman). Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the title page with a full page inscription, “The boys and girls in this book have many problems Burt Kovitsky could have called him to the bench just once…he would have straightened them out just like that…Tom Wolfe Authorized Biographer.” The recipient, a close friend of Wolfe’s Burt Roberts was immortalized in The Bonfire of the Vanities as judge Myron Kovitsky, a character based on Roberts, he was one of the few sympathetic characters in the book, one who would not be swayed by prosecutors or the press. Wolfe dedicated the book to Roberts and one of his assistants, calling Roberts “one of the great figures in New York” and considered him “the greatest single figure I’ve run into.” In the 1990 film adaptation of the book starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith, the role of the judge was renamed to Leonard White and was played by Morgan Freeman. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell. An exceptional association, one of the finest we have seen.
